Camp Delmont Overview
Camp Delmont was named after the two counties that made up the original Delmont Council (DELaware and MONTgomery Counties Council, later known as The Valley Forge Council). At one point the camp was known as Camp Cedar. Summer Camp was first held there in 1916. The camp is recognized as one of the oldest Boy Scout camps in the United States.

Prior to 1996, the Philadelphia Area Council owned and operated Camp Hart, while the Valley Forge Council owned and operated the adjoining Camp Delmont. Subsequent to the merger of these councils in 1996, these adjacent camps joined to create a new reservation. This reservation is known as the Musser Scout Reservation, in honor of long-time Scouting supporter Warren V. "Pete" Musser.

The Musser Scout Reservation is located along the Unami Creek on over 1,400 acres of Marlborough Township, Pennsylvania. It is part of the largest contiguous forest in Southeastern Pennsylvania. It now includes Camp Hart, Camp Delmont and Camp Garrison.

The Cradle of Liberty Council, Natural Lands Trust, Montgomery County Lands Trust and Montgomery County signed a conservation easement permanently protecting over 1,200 acres of the Musser Scout Reservation. The easement is a perpetual, legally binding agreement to remove certain rights from the property owner. The effect of conservation easements is to provide permanent protection from future development while leaving the land in private ownership.
